Carrying liquids larger than 100ml in hand luggage is permitted for all passengers at Rome Fiumicino Airport, with the exception of passengers travelling to the US and Israel.

Background ✨
The European Commission lifted the 100ml restriction on liquids in cabin bags for flights departing EU airports equipped with Smiths Detection's advanced screening equipment, allowing up to two litres per container. This restriction was temporarily reinstated in 2025 due to concerns over technology performance, but these were resolved and the equipment was recertified. Airports using other security equipment must still enforce the 100ml limit1.
